Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg announced on Friday that she has been undergoing treatment for cancer since May.
“On May 19, I began a course of chemotherapy…to treat a recurrence of cancer,” Ginsburg said in a statement.
The justice said the cancer was first discovered as part of a regular biopsy in February, during which doctors discovered lesions on her liver. An initial immunotherapy treatment was unsuccessful.
“The [current] chemotherapy course, however, is yielding positive results,” Ginsburg said. “Satisfied that my treatment course is now clear, I am providing this information. ”
53 The justice was hospitalized on Monday with a fever and infection. In her Friday statement, Ginsburg said the hospitalization was unrelated to her treatment for cancer.
Ginsburg has had cancer multiple times over the course of her 25-year tenure on the court. At 87, she is the eldest current Supreme Court justice. However, the justice sought to allay concerns that her medical issues would interfere with her work.
“Throughout, I have kept up with opinion writing and all other Court work,” Ginsburg said. “I have often said I would remain a member of the Court as long as I can do the job full steam. I remain fully able to do that.”

When she dries, how long after until they decide to share? I feel like American people are being lied to. Maybe they will wait until the first anniversary of her death to admit she died?
How can she possibly undergo this treatment and do her job? Who is actually writing her opinions?
Bttt
Yes. Sort of what I was getting at in my post. I don’t trust the Democrats/media/law enforcement triad. (They haven’t earned it). She could be dead now, for all I know...
The Ladies (Romney, Collins, Murkowski) would never support a lame duck nominee.
Don’t get me wrong: if she were willing to retire I’d wish her another 150 years. But she won’t, so I want these evil tyrant to kick off as soon as possible. That said, the court is not in session until October, and besides the odd sort coming from whatever circuit or circuits are assigned to her, she has no work she needs to do
Sorry for her family. Buzzy is buying time, election time. 87 years and liver cancer, forget about it. My Mom had the same Cancer, metastasized from her Uterus two years ago, the chemo got her before the Cancer at 85. Buzzy is a vial, selfish, power hungry, baby killing, marxist despot. She should have stepped down when Obongo could have replaced her. But she didn’t because like I said she is a vial, selfish, power hungry, baby killing, marxist despot.
When John F. Kennedy was inaugurated the TV commentators said the white haired Cardinal Cushing was able to live long enough to see a Catholic Irishman as President. A few years later (1963 and 1968) both young Kennedys were dead and the Cardinal was still alive for their funerals and late.
You can never figure the future for anyone.
and later (not late)
Just this development will remind the left that they need the Senate and Presidency and then they will be free to use the Supreme Court to impose their will. I’m worried the left will be hyper-enthusiastic coming into November. They were complacent in 2016.
I demand bitch step down.
He couldn’t replace her then because the turtle was blocking committee hearings.
In 1995, the man died at the age of 77, having paid out more than $180,000 for the apartment; the 120 year-old woman was still alive.
Damn, man, it’s like not even the devil wants her. “Nuh-uh, man, you ain’t coming down here and bringing your bat soup crazy ideas with you.”
Again, I wish her a speedy retirement.
“He couldn’t replace her then because the turtle was blocking committee hearings”
Nope, only the last two years of Odunga’s term Dems didn’t hold the Senate. He got in the Unwise Latina and the Lesbian Munchkin. I guess he couldn’t twist Buzzys arm hard enough until the Republicans took back the Senate with the 2014 Elections.
One highly suspects that Ms. Ginsberg's opinions are penned by leftist insiders and then provided to Ms. Ginsberg's clerks.
Do I KNOW this? Of course not. It's my suspicion, and until provided superior info, my suspicion is reasonably compelling.
We had the vacant seat in 2016 and we still won and we will win again . She can leave next year if she likes . President Trump ain’t going nowhere. She should have left when Obama was President .
Any one recall the DATE...THAT RBG...SAID SHE WAS “CANCER FREE”...just wondering...
This woman lies all the time...and she is not the one doing her job...she has paid staff doing it for her...she is frail and very aged looking and not at all healthy like she claims she is...
This nonsense is why we are sick and tired of the WASHINGTON SWAMP AND THAT INCLUDES THE SUPREME COURT...
